I installed a Ripp Black Ops Supercharger and headers about a month ago. The sound of the plastic blow off valve annoyed me, so I replaced it with a Turbosmart TS-0203-1022. It is a direct replacement and fits the 1" hose perfectly.
I have it set about halfway in between hard and soft so that barely any air escapes at idle, but still doesn't cause any backfiring or rpm drop at idle.
Still the sound of the blow off valve is annoying. So, today I closed off the atmosphere end with a supplied cover and ran some heater hose and T'd into the air intake.
The result is no more blow off sound! And actually seems to shift smoother, but this could be subjective.
My question is: is their any danger to the supercharger by doing this? I've supplied pictures of what I did. I also have my axles and transmission breather hoses T'd into the same line. So second question: is their any danger to those components? Thanks!

The Recirculation line must be INDEPENDENT of any other breathers! The volume of air being bled off will actually pressurize the reansmission and diffs, and will cause a failure!!, DO NOT DRIVE!
The Recirculated blow off should be of equal or greater diameter, as short as possible, and have as little bends as possible.
